Best Buy for the Money,
I read all the other reviews before buying this and decided to take the chance and go for it. I wouldn’t call this a gun SAFE, but rather a well-built gun CABINET.
I’ll be using this to hold a scoped rifle, a shotgun, and ammo for both as well as my handgun ammo. The space will be more than adequate for this and probably hold another rifle/shotgun or two more.
It is true that it’s on the small side: 4’7″ ft. tall and 1 foot square. The one and only shelf is quite small, but adding another is no big deal. It has a keyed lock which I actually prefer to a combination.
While other reviewers said theirs arrived in less than perfect condition, mine was great (delivered by FedEx – if that makes a difference). The box showed some wear, but the cabinet was fine. To those who said it was flimsily built, I beg to differ. I found it actually to be BETTER built than I anticipated from these reviews, and feel it is more than adequate – once secured to the floor and/or wall, to keep anyone out.
Again, this is NOT a safe; it is a sturdy CABINET with safe-style bolts on a key lock. If you are looking for something fireproof, this won’t do it. If, however, you want a low-cost way to safely secure your firearms, this will work nicely.
I didn’t want to spend $1,000+ on an elaborate, huge gun safe; I wanted something affordable and secure. This is it. Recommended.

|Very good value,
Yes, one could argue that this is more of a strong box than a safe. That being said, the unit is very sturdy and has the best build quality of anything that I’ve seen at this price point. The other safes I checked out looked at lot flimsier.
Sentry says that this is a 5 gun (rifle) case. However, if you happen to have larger scopes attached to your riles, that capacity is almost halved. In my case, it stores 3 scoped rifles nicely.
Shelf is also a tad too low for my 24″ barreled rifle. This was solved with a quick modification. I hot glued 9″ x 1.5″ wood strips just above each of the original shelf rails. This gives me the increased shelf height and allows me to slide the shelf all the way to the back of the safe. Perfect!

|5 Long Gun Safe,
I ordered this gun safe specifically for my bed room closet, so I could have my carry guns close at hand as well as a couple of my “personal defense” shotguns too, which up to now, are kept in a “fire proof”, gun safe in my garage. I received the safe quickly, and it was not damaged. I also have a “Stack-On” drawer safe that holds two guns with a electronic combination lock and lifts up to open, that up to now, I kept in my bedside table. I attached this safe to the top of the Sentry gun safe, which I might add, was a perfect fit, and installed both in my closet, just inside the door. When I lock up this gun safe, I simply put the key to it in the drawer safe bolted on top and everything is secured, but yet I can have a gun in my hand in a matter of seconds and not have to worrying about loading first, or removing trigger locks. I am very well satisfied with this gun safe, especially considering the price I paid for it compared to others, and finding one that fits in the closet underneath the rod that you hang your clothes on too which is very hard to do. Yes, it is not fire proof, but I didn’t buy it for this reason, I bought it for having my guns locked up to make it hard for someone to get to, should there be a break in and I’m not at home, but yet easily accessible to me when needed. It’s secured both to the wall and floor with lag bolts, so it’s there for the long term. As I stated before, I feel that for the amount of money I spent, I received a quality product, I feel that it’s made solid enough to make it hard for anyone to try and get into it without a lot of effort. I definitely recommend this gun safe it you’re looking for one for the same reason I was, or if you just have a few guns that you want to keep in a safe place, locked up away from kids, etc.
